In an interesting turn of events, PUBG Corp. has officially dropped the lawsuit it filed against Epic Games back in January over similarities between Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. In the months that followed the lawsuit announcement, many fans expressed disappointment with PUBG Corp. for their decision to sue Epic Games over Fortnite.

Meanwhile, other fans questioned whether or not PUBG Corp. could actually win against Epic Games in the first place. When it comes to copyright law in the United States, Epic Games likely would’ve taken the win.

With the suit filed in South Korea, however, things get a bit more muddy. This is because Korean copyright law is vastly different than what’s utilized in the United States. Especially when it comes to aspects like “paternity” and seniority.
